History and notable features

This community lies at the junction of state routes 414 and 287, between Williamsport and Wellsboro. Babb Creek, a tributary of Pine Creek, flows through Morris.[2]

Activities in Morris include an annual Rattlesnake Round-Up that features snake hunts. The village is roughly twenty-five minutes by car from the Pine Creek Gorge and the Pine Creek Rail Trail, to the west. Campgrounds in the area—Twin Streams in Morris, Stony Fork Creek near the village of Stony Fork, Leonard Harrison State Park west of Wellsboro, and Pettecote Junction in Cedar Run—offer a variety of sites for tents and recreational vehicles.[3]
